Seeking Suggestions for Education Pathway for Canada's Permanent Residence

[OtterDen]

I hope this post finds you all in good health and high spirits. I am reaching out to this esteemed community today to seek your valuable suggestions and insights regarding the education requirements for Canada's Permanent Residence (PR) pathway for Hong Kong residents.

I am currently planning to apply for Canada's PR pathway, and one of the key requirements is to have graduated from a designated learning institution in Canada within the past three years. The specific educational qualifications that fulfill this requirement include:

1. A diploma (not graduate or post-graduate) for a program of at least 2 years.
2. A degree (associate, bachelor's, master's, or doctoral).
3. A graduate or post-graduate diploma or certificate for a program of at least 1 year.

Furthermore, it is essential that at least 50% of the program is completed in Canada, whether in person or online. Considering my personal preferences and my financial status, I am looking for an educational pathway that is as short as possible, while still meeting the aforementioned requirements set by Canada. I would also highly appreciate suggestions for online study options and competency-based programs, if available.

To provide you with some background information, I hold a Bachelor of Science (honours) degree in Computing and Information Technologies from the University of Derby, where I graduated with Second Division (1st class) honors.

I firmly believe that this community is a treasure trove of knowledge and experience, and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, recommendations, or personal experiences you can share regarding suitable educational programs that fulfill Canada's PR pathway. Your insights will undoubtedly help me make an informed decision about my educational pursuits.

Thank you in advance for your time, support, and guidance.
